Wife made a batch of these mofos last night.

S'mores Cookies, bitches are about the size of my fist.





Basically it's a S'more in the middle of a chocolate chip cookie. Wholly shit they are good! She makes some mean cookies but these are up there at the top.

I watched it on amazon, you have to pay for it though. I didn't check to see if it's on netflix, it might be. This was a great documentary, it's definitely worth paying for! Here's the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Forks-Over-Kni.../dp/B005K23RS0

It's complicated watch the documentary for more info, and read ''eat to live'' by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. European countries and Australia also have high cancer rates, and high rates of heart disease, and stroke though.

The point is that countries with the lowest consumption of animal products, and refined/processed foods, and highest consumption of unrefined plant based foods, have the lowest incidence of cancer, and heart disease. In the US, about one in three people will (it's nearing one in two) develop cancer in their lifetimes, this is largely due to our diet, which consists mainly of animal products and refined/processed foods, instead of unrefined plant based foods.

In a nutshell, over 3,000 medical journal articles, and large scale nutritional clinical studies, have demonstrated, that there is a very strong causal link between heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers, and a diet high in animal products, and processed foods.

There are proteins in animal products (eggs, meat, dairy) that turn on cancer genes, and increase growth hormones like insulin and IGF1 that lead to cell proliferation, which can in turn raise cancer risk. Refined/Processed foods stimulate the reward centers in the brain which lead to overeating, obesity, and diabetes. A lack of plant based foods in the western diet, leads to a deficiency in vital micronutrients and phytochemicals, which lower cancer risk when consumed on a regular basis, and in large quantities.

This graph sums it up pretty well:

Yeah I quit drinking milk a year ago, and I don't miss it. But it's not just milk, that causes these problems, it's animal products in general. (Meat, eggs, dairy).

Damn if I don't get my **** into gear Litos is going to catch up and pass me before I even know it. I'm at 200 and counting, except I've always been at 200 (i.e. I haven't actually started my exercise/diet regimen yet).

I saw an ad for "P90x 3" that seems to be quite a bit more compact than P90x or P90x2. Each workout is supposedly 30 minutes. I'm going to look into that.

The problem with P90x is that the workouts are 50 minutes each with no breaks, but that usually balloons to an hour+ with breaks.

When I was in Prague, Liege, I noticed most people there eat their meals + water, lil wine instead of pop like we do.
I think pop, added sugar is the problem not animal intake.

This graph sums it up pretty well:
Unfortunately to me plant based diet = "salad". I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff that can be made using plant based products, but growing up my whole life eating animal protein + rice I really wouldn't even have a clue what to eat.

Actually this reminds me of some book I read (no idea what it was even about) but they talked about some government marketing campaign back in WWII to try to get people to eat more organ meat. At first they tried to simply tell people how delicious organ meat was, that failed miserably. Then they actually tried going after the women since the husbands would pretty much eat whatever they made I guess. And showed them how to cook the organ meat in dishes so that they would look and taste just like any other meat. In a sense just disguising the organ meat as something else. Apparently that worked.

So I guess I'll wait for my cabbage steak.

I still eat animal products myself, but I try to substitute vegan meals regularly, and incorporate as many unrefined plant based foods into my diet as possible. I still have cheat days thoough, where I allow myself to indulge.
